    The circulation pump was not running, turned the end with screwdriver and then all worked fine. This must mean the pump needs to spinn before the water is let in ! Thanks for your help, Penguin 45. 🙂

    Re: whirlpool dishwasher

    I took the side panel off to look at water chamber, did a flat hand hit with no sucess. When you start program, machine fills up with water just up to the point of door seal- then the green light starts flashing!. after its got to this stage should the water be pumped up to the spray arme etc. ?

    Re: whirlpool dishwasher

    Thanks for input guys.
    I spoke with whirlpool they want £ 70.00 odd. to send engineer out as the item was purchased in Jan 2003.
    They told me to speak to IKEA after I mentioned about the sale act 1979 that all goods should be good for 6 years.
    IKEA said that they give a 90 day ! Then a year with whirlpool !
    I mentioned about the 1979 sales act and they have loged my information and will call me back in 12 working hours.
    I will see what happens.

    I found some info on web on 851175001810 with regards to failure code,indication in test program when a failure occurs…..
    It seems to indicate F6 water tap closed—-
    a, water tap closed (seems ok )
    b, water inlet hose blocked ( seems ok )
    c, water inlet valve ( WV1 ) defective. ?

    What do you think.

    Re: whirlpool dishwasher

    My wife bought it in 2003 and its been standing in garage until now ! Exstension to build with new kitchen etc.
    Light flashes 1-2-3-4-5-6-pause-repeat.
    If you open bottom is full with water, then if you hold start button in it pumps water out.
    If its the pump are they similar to a washing machine etc.
